-----------------------------------------

At the moment I can't see anything else for Agnes/ Priscilla after 1881- will keep looking.

The 1902 marriage to William Alfred Mansfield is not the correct Agnes- that Agnes was born in c1877

My goodness! I'd never have dreamt that they were name changers. How strange.
That certainly took some sorting out.
Thank you so much for all your hard work.

This looks like George and Elizabeth in 1891 (same birth place for both as on the 1881 census)- looks like they're getting younger!!

IN MEMORIAM
ISON- In loving memory of George Ison who died at Spilsby May 26th 1923.
One lonely year has passed away
Since the great sorrow fell.
From his loving wife and sisters

Back to Agnes/ Priscilla.

I think this is likely her, although I don't see a marriage. Children's births show that Agnes maiden name was Ison.
